Abstract

A communication system is a communication system including a device and a control device, the device includes a device communication unit that transmits identification information of the device to the control device in a case where the device is connected to the control device, and transmits setting information to the control device in a case where transmission of the setting information is requested, and the control device includes: an identification unit that acquires the identification information of the device; an update unit that updates network configuration information by adding the identification information of the device to the network configuration information; a request unit that transmits a signal for requesting transmission of the setting information to the device; a connection control unit that acquires the setting information; and a device control unit that transmits a notification signal to the device.

1 . A communication system comprising a device and a control device, wherein
 the device includes a device communication unit configured to transmit identification information of the device to the control device in a case where the device is connected to the control device, and to transmit setting information regarding communication or control of the device to the control device in a case where transmission of the setting information is requested, and   the control device includes:   an identification unit configured to acquire the identification information of the device from the device communication unit;   an update unit configured to update network configuration information that is information indicating a configuration of a network including the control device by adding the identification information of the device to the network configuration information;   a request unit configured to transmit a signal for requesting transmission of the setting information to the device on the basis of the network configuration information;   a connection control unit configured to acquire the setting information from the device communication unit; and   a device control unit configured to transmit a notification signal indicating that communication has been established to the device.   
     
     
         2 . The communication system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the device control unit generates a control signal on the basis of the setting information and transmits the control signal to the device.   
     
     
         3 . A control method executed by a communication system including a device and a control device, the control method comprising:
 transmitting, by the device, identification information of the device to the control device in a case where the device is connected to the control device, and transmitting, by the device, setting information regarding communication or control of the device to the control device in a case where transmission of the setting information is requested;   acquiring, by the control device, the identification information of the device from the device;   updating, by the control device, network configuration information that is information indicating a configuration of a network including the control device by adding the identification information of the device to the network configuration information;   transmitting, by the control device, a signal for requesting transmission of the setting information to the device on the basis of the network configuration information;   acquiring, by the control device, the setting information from the device; and   transmitting, by the control device, a notification signal indicating that communication has been established to the device.   
     
     
         4 . The control method according to  claim 3 , further comprising
 generating, by the control device, a control signal on the basis of the setting information and transmitting, by the control device, the control signal to the device.   
     
     
         5 . A control device comprising:
 an identification unit configured to acquire identification information of a device requesting establishment of communication, from the device;   an update unit configured to update network configuration information that is information indicating a configuration of a network including the control device by adding the identification information of the device to the network configuration information;   a request unit configured to transmit a signal for requesting transmission of setting information regarding communication or control of the device to the device on the basis of the network configuration information;   a connection control unit configured to acquire the setting information from the device; and   a device control unit configured to transmit a notification signal indicating that communication has been established to the device.   
     
     
         6 . The control device according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the device control unit generates a control signal on the basis of the setting information and transmits the control signal to the device.   
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to function as the control device according to  claim 5 .
